Sirois, Gary F.

Gary F. Sirois, lifelong Plainville resident and proud Army veteran, entered eternal rest in Heaven on March 1, 2023.

Gary was born on August 4, 1968, son to Gisele (Lizotte) Sirois and the late Reginald Sirois. He enlisted in the United States Army, serving for over 20 years and retiring from the U.S. Army Reserve as a Command Sergeant Major. He was a highly decorated Veteran; among many other awards, he also received the Bronze Star Medal for his service at Camp Victory, Kuwait in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

He will be remembered for his sparkling smile, sharp sense of humor, devotion to his family, and commitment to keeping everything “dress right dress.” He enjoyed exercising, spending time outdoors and by the family pool, cruising in his classic car and on his motorcycles, and listening to Led Zeppelin. He leaves his family and friends with many cherished memories and a legacy of love.

Gary is survived by his mother, Gisele Sirois; his brother, Scott Sirois, and his wife Liz; his daughter, Samantha Pawloski, and her husband Dave; his daughter, Melissa Sirois, and her boyfriend Klajdi Bajlliu – along with many close friends. He is predeceased by his father, Reginald Sirois.
